... and what I attempted to say (and didn't very well) is 
that in  places where null statements are allowed, yes, 
you're correct; the  macro could include its own semicolon, 
and people who want add their  own are allowed to....
... with a few exceptions.  As has been pointed out,
if (something)
        MACRO_INVOCATION();
      else
       ...
Incidentally, this should automatically be:

if (something) {
    MACRO_INVOCATION(); // semicolon argument aside
}
else
    ...

Because if the macro expands to statement, it could just as easily expand to a
series of statements.
